Info Beasiswa 2016 : PhD position Institute for Solar Fuels, Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin, Germany

9.5.16 |

At the Institute for Solar Fuels, we develop new materials and devices for photoelectro-chemical water splitting. We are looking for candidates to strengthen a new project on manganese- and cobalt-oxide catalysts for enhancing the water oxidation kinetics at photoanode surfaces

Tasks

  • Exploration of anion doping as a strategy to tune the energy levels in the band structure of complex semiconducting metal oxide photoanodes
  • Investigation of the coupling between metal oxide semiconductors and earth-abundant MnxCoOy electrocatalysts by advanced (photo)electrochemical methods
  • Develop new strategies to optimize the coupling between these catalysts and light absorbing metal oxide photoelectrodes

Requirements

  • Completed master’s degree in chemistry, physical chemistry or materials science
  • Good knowledge on chemical growth processes and in solid state chemistry
  • Familiarity with thin film characterization techniques and electrochemistry
  • Strong motivation in research
  • Good verbal and written communication skills in English

What we offer

Fixed term contract for 36 months. The employment contract is based on contracts for the German civil service (TVöD-Bund).
We particularly welcome applications from women. Preference will be given to handicapped applicants provided equal suitability.
